Carneiro files individual legal claim against embattled Mourinho

Carneiro files individual legal claim against embattled Mourinho
Portuguese during a game against Swansea and he may now appear at an employment tribunal
Eva Carneiro has taken individual legal action against Jose Mourinho following her exit from Chelsea.

The former physiotherapist left the Blues on September 22 after she and colleague Jon Fearn were criticised by Mourinho for being “impulsive and naïve”, having entered the field of play to treat Eden Hazard during a 2-2 draw with Swansea.

Mourinho was disappointed that their actions reduced his side to nine men at a crucial stage of the game, and Carneiro was subsequently dropped from the bench, and it is understood that she has now filed a claim against the Portuguese.

The development means Mourinho will have to appear in person at an employment tribunal unless the two parties can reach a settlement outside of court. If victimisation or discrimination can be proven then an individual can be personally liable for damages.

Chelsea are thought to be aware of the filing of documents and a spokesperson said: "As this matter is subject to legal proceedings it wouldn't be appropriate to comment at this time."

Mourinho has struggled thus far this season, seeing his side win just three of their opening 11 Premier League games.
